Okay, closing this report then.

I guess so, I didn't actually pay that much attention to the details.

I think in both cases something modifies the match-data during
query-replace, so the same fix is applicable to both bugs.  The
particular thing which is responsible for modifying match-data may be
different in each case, but I don't think it's very important to find
out exactly what it was.
